Introduction Episode

Welcome to Holy Sht, I’m a Mom* — the honest, messy, funny, and unfiltered podcast for anyone who’s ever stared at a pregnancy test, a newborn, or a pile of laundry and thought, “What the hell do I do now?” I’m Kaitlyn — full-time student, part-time barista, first-time mom, and your guide through the beautiful chaos of motherhood. This podcast was born out of the lonely nights, quiet cries, and WTF moments I faced during pregnancy and postpartum. I created it because I needed it when I felt most overwhelmed — and I know I’m not the only one. In this intro episode, I’m sharing the heart behind the show, a little bit of my story, and what you can expect each week as we navigate this wild ride together. This isn’t a parenting manual. It’s a real-life diary of what happens when life gets flipped upside down by a 5-pound baby with a big personality. So if you’re looking for a space that’s vulnerable, relatable, a little bit unhinged, and totally free of mom-shaming — you’ve found it. Let’s do this thing.
